In six hours sita can make 4 more baskets than what geeta can in 4 hours . if each worked at the rate that the other did, geeta can make 2 baskets less than sita in 2 hours. find the number of baskets that sita can make in an hour.

• let gita makes a basket in 4 hr
  sita gita
  time 6 hr 4 hr
  baskets a+4 a
  becoz working rate is same so both make same no of basket in 1 hr
  so (a+4)/6 = a/4
  a = 8
  so sita makes (a+4)/6 = 12/6 = 2 basket in 1 hr

• let gita makes x basket in 4 hours => x/4 basket in 1 hour
  let sita makes x+4 basket in 6 hours => X+4/6 basket in 1 hour
  
  -----------------NOW RATE IS REVERSED ---------------
  Gita makes 2 basket less than sita in 2 hours ;
  => (x+4)/6 x 2= (x/4) x 2 - 2 ;
  Gita in 2 hrs = sita in 2 hrs - 2; (note that their efficiencies have been reversed . );
  on solving for x ;
  x=20 ;
  
  put x for sita's equation and answer is : (4+20)/6 in 1 hour
  =>24/6 in 1 hour = 4 basket.
